ComPLx: A Competitive Primal-dual Lagrange Optimization for Global Placement
We develop a projected-subgradient primal-dual Lagrange optimization for global placement, that can be instantiated with a variety of interconnect models. It decomposes the origin...

Assessing the performance limits of parallelized near-threshold computing
Supply voltage scaling has stagnated in recent technology nodes, leading to so-called “dark silicon.” In this paper, we investigate the limit of voltage scaling together with ...

An information-theoretic framework for optimal temperature sensor allocation and full-chip thermal monitoring
Full-chip thermal monitoring is an important and challenging issue in today’s microprocessor design. In this paper, we propose a new information-theoretic framework to quantitat...
